Did I ever mention, you can boot into these /<qual>/!?!

initrd context:
  "mount root partition $ROOTDEV at $TARGET"
  mkdir /fun
  mount -o bind $TARGET/<qual> /fun
  exec switch_root /fun /sbin/init

Mount output get's confusing about multiple lines
mentioning $ROOTDEV, esp. for init.d/fsck, but
IMHO fsck should be done in initrd, and not single-user mode
with read-only mount and with binaries from that broken partition.
- - other story.

Or have it on separate partition - like the traditional "I switch
distros" aproach.
